They Failed to Agree.

The jury in the variety theatre case,
against the proprietor of the Arion variety
theatre in Butte, after being out twenty
hours failed to agree, and were discharged.
There seems to be a wide difference of
opinion between our ablest attorneys re-
garding the constitutionality of this varie
ty bill, passed by the last legislature. It
is more than probable that after the lapse
of q few months the law will join forces
with the many other dead ones in our
statute books. We believe the enactment
of the law, premature, and the closing up
of variety halls will lead those whom it
was destined to assist and protect, to 9th
er haunts more Objectionable.

Is it the Nanitoba2

Portland Nescs: Preliminary surveys
have been made from Pennington to Null
len in the Ceur d'Alene country and from
Pennington to Spokane, for the Washing
ton & Idaho Railroad company. A prac-
tical route has been found around the
south and east sides of the Ceur d'Alene
lake, thence along Ceur d'Alene and
South Fork rivers to Mullen, near the
Idaho and Montana boundary. 1t is be-
lieved that this work has been done by the
st. Paul & Manitoba system, although ac-
cording to one report the Oregon River &
Navigation is behind the Washington &
Idaho line. From Mullen it is easy to ex-
tend along St. Regis river and up the Mis-
soula river to Missoula, where ST. Paul &
Manitoba surveyors were reported to be
recently.

Serious If Reliable.

Dispatches from Anaconda during the
early part of the present week stated that
conspiracy had developed in that place
to seize upon the extensive works of the
Anaconda company and destroy them, to-
gether with the town. The authorities
Immediately took measures to quell the
rising storm. The sixty stand Of arms Of
the disbanded military company of the
camp were quietly secreted beyond the
reach of the disturbers, the seizure of
which was part of their program. Other
measures of an effective nature were at
once put in force, and the malcontents
were awed into silence and submission
The trouble arose over the reduction of
wages by the smelling company.

the springing of such senseless and lying
slush is to be deprecated. Eastern peo-
pie do not stop to consider that Montana
is an empire within herself, but rush to
the conclusion that the whole populace of
the territory are resting on their arms,
awaiting the onslaught of the paint be-
smeared and feather bedecked demons of
the plains. Many will be deferred from
contemplated visit to our fair country
after reading the Benton special rottenness.
We will offer as reward of merit to any
Indian in the Northwest, ton of red paint

of the Benton sensationalist and scrape the

knife, and report to this Office what he

Wonderful Results.

Editor Tribune:
Our large concentrator, the property Of
the Hudson Mining Co., also owners of
the Mountain Chief mine here, has been
recently completed and was started up
Saturday on ore for the first time with
wonderful results. They ran through 1s
tons of ore in two hours. The plant is in
tended for capacity of 100 tons, but Hr.
Klein, their able foreman, says after their
Saturdays test that it has a capacity at
least of $50 tons per day of that kind of
ore. They have been running some, both
yesterday and to-day with very satisfactory
results. 1t is claimed the loss in treat
ment does not exceed per cent. The
outlook for the camp is now very bright.

Sensational Rotsenness.

A Fort Benton dispatch to the Jadepe,s-
dent says:
Blood Indians from the Northwest Ter
rltories are on q murder0us and horse
stealing raid on the American side of the
line. Range and ranchmen are aroused,
and if troops cannot repel them VIII or
ganize and fight them.-PioHeer Press.
The above is a sample Of the senseless
balderdash which at intervals emanates
from some demented unfortunate in Ben
ton, and its sensational attributes are suf-
ficient to make it a choice piece of news
for every paper in the United States. As
it is copied from one paper by another, it
is generally intensified, and in a very short
time mountain is made out of mole
hill. One would imagine after reading
the above, that Northern Montana was on
the eve of bloody scalp lifting battle with
the whole Indian nation, and no doubt the
people of the east truly believe such to be
the case, while in fact the few Indian pau
pers who live in the Northwest are as
harmless as turtle doves, so far as the tax
ing of human life is concerned. Once in
a while party of adventurous bucks
will go out and steal few cayuses that
are too lazy to make an effort to get away,
but this is the extent of their blood thirsty
depredations.

is attracting favorable attention in the east,

Swift RctrTI,utior,.

Sheriff Lewis of Gibson county, Ind, ar
rived in Louisville, KY, Tuesday night, and
brought the news Of very sensational af-
fair happening in Crawford county, Sunday.
A fourteen-year old daughter Of John Fan-
negap, near Boston, that county, was car
ried away and cruelty and foully assaulted
and outraged. at ten o'clock Sunday morn
ing, Walter and Charles Davies, brothers,
OF bad repute, visited the Flannegan resi-
dence, which is situated eight miles from
Louisville, in Perry county, and finding the
family away from home, save the daughter
and her two brothers, they told the Flame
gan boys that some stray stock was break
ing into the farm q mile away from the
house. The Flanagan boys started over
10 see about the supposed stray and obstrep-
erous stock. No sooner had they started to
look after the supposed stray stock than
the Davies boys carried the young daughter
Of Flanagan TO neighboring wood, and
there the outrage-too foul for description
was enacted. a handkerchief was placed
over her mouth, and the girl was tied to
tree while her person was violated. After
this most fendish assault, she was
beaten with stick Of wood and left for
dead. When the two brothers returned
home search was made for the missing sis.
ter An all night hunt failed to discover her
whereabouts, but on Monday morning some
OF the neighbors found the girl, ,lalmost dead,
tied TO tree in the woods. She stated that
after the assault upon her the two men
pointed pistols at her and threatened to
shoot her if she made any outcry during the
night The two Davies boys who made the
assault were found in the woods near the
suffering girl on Monday morning. One &C.
count states that both of them were taken
to n saplipg near by and lynched, after they
had confessed the deed. Another states that
Walter Davies escaped but that just after
dark his brother Charles was found con-
cealed under house, and was dragged out
by the infuriated mob. He was terrified
and quaking with fear. He was securely
strapped to horse and driven back to the
spot where ne had ravished the girl He
begged for mercy, but his cries were unheed
go. He was taken from the horse, his hands
tied behind him, and was given two minutes
in which to pray. He availed himself of
the time allowed, and at the expiration OF
it q stout sapling was bent down, a short
rope tied TO the top, with the other end
about Davies neck. Six men held down
the tree, and when it was released, it flew
back into position, aud Davies was jerked
twenty feet Into the air. The force threw
him over the top of tbs tree, and as the rope
brought him up short on the other side, his
neck was broken. The body was riddled
with bullets by the crowd, and was allowed
to hang there ,until morning, when it WAS
cut down by his father and given burial.
